Interactive Entertainment, we feel the upcoming game showcases some of the gameplay innovation potential now possible on next-generation consoles through its groundbreaking Nemesis System.

While many previous games set in Middle-earth have revolved around the major events or characters depicted in Tolkien's books, Shadow of Mordor offers a new chapter that fits comfortably between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Players control a lone ranger by the name of Talion as he journeys deep into the heart of Mordor in the days before it transforms into a blasted hellscape. Along the way, developer Monolith is exploring a fascinating next-gen approach to enemies, encounters, and storytelling, one in which every player shapes their own story through the choices they make. The Nemesis System assures that every enemy you fight is a named foe, and if they survive their battle with you, they continue to grow, improve, and act in the world, even as you attempt to do the same with Talion.

Ever played arkham games or assassins creed? Looks pretty much just like that, and its is incredibly enjoyable combat interface~

i think it really comes down to how it feels

if it feels right, then alrighty

Yeah, it reminded me of both Arkham and the first Witcher, and that's not really what I'm looking for in the RPG realm (I have hated the combat in the Witcher franchise to date). Way too early to know for sure how it plays, it just looks way too 'smash buttons on the controller' to me in that video.

I can understand that.. if you have played lots of Arkham (like me) especially the newest one, it becomes less about button mashing and more.. how can I say it.. finesse button combos. Sort of like fighting games, except with a 3d arena against multiple opponents.

I played tons of Arkham. I thought the style was fine in that arena, but I wasn't thinking of this game as being action-adventure. But hey, I'm old-fashioned. I'm more excited about the 2d isometric RPGs coming out this year than anything else.
